Disability is not inability.
*Scripture Commentaries.*
At times we are "disabled" by weaknesses nsmely, financially, physically, spiritually etc.
The Apostle made it clear that everyone goes through challenges. When you consider yourself weak, others may be as weak as you are, yet they, out of their weaknesses remain undaunted and receive strength and were made strong,
2 Cor 12:9 ►🔹 *But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness..*🔹
2 Cor 12:9 ►🔹 *....Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.*🔹
2 Cor 12:10 ►🔹 *That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.*🔹
Romans 15:1►🔹 *We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.*🔹
Paul encouraged and provoked unto love expressing in 2 Cor 11:29 ►🔹 *Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?*🔹
What have you sacrificed to provoke, motivate and stir up love when it is unlovable to love?
*Remorse corner.*
Though the salvation of the followers of Christ is free, they daily have to pay a price of discipleship, Luke 9:23.
